It’s really obvious to me that there was suppsosed to be a title card after Operation US. It’s almost to the point where I remember the film incorrectly, but the title landing after Part A is so powerful that the memory sticks in my mind. It’s almost more difiant of Eva Q to place the title card where it finally did. It opens up with this grand statement about how vastly different everything is, then slams the audience with a reminder that, yes, this is actually Evangelion 3.33.

I'm going to have to disagree, is it different to have the title card in such a late place in the film? Yes. But it comes off as jarring and awkward and not in the same way as the story does. I would take points off the film rather than applaud it for doing so.

I feel exactly the same way about it.I also like the division it puts between Wille and Nerv.What's funny is with either placement we have the iconic shot of Shinji waking up right after it.

I guess this is very subjective. I really liked it due to that effect FreakyFilmFan mentioned.

@Reichu:

Who is "they"? What post is this, even?

They mean the Minna no Eva Fan article.

Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work.""In any case, it (Kill la Kill) is the greatest work of fiction ever written and should be taught in schools." -Squigsquasher~('.'~) (~'.')~ Dancin Kirby

I remember showing Eva Q to a friend of mine for the first time, and after the title drop 30 minutes in he nearly applauded. He was like, “Oh, shit. That was only the beginning? Okay!” I like the gusto of movies that can do that.

Going by the Netflix thing, it'll be december 31 2020, 00:00.And people will wonder if that counts as 2020.

SPOILER: Show

I don't actually believe this.

Question from someone who doesn't know very much about the Japanese film industry! I've seen people say they wouldn't want the movie to compete with the Olympics, but wouldn't it be a good business decision to have the movie out there during that window to take advantage of the massive influx of tourists that come with the Olympics? Opening against them would be a bad idea I'm sure but what about when the movie's been out a few weeks?

Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Yep, definitely an interesting approach. Suspect this means that were heading for a summer 2020 release. My bet would be in July before the Olympics, it has all the makings of a summer blockbuster for Japan so I imagine that'll be the best time for profit maximization. Also, Shin Godzilla came out in July, and that proved to be fairly successful lol.
